What about the 58th bead?

Jan 20, 2011 03:53

This is under a cut because I know An and a couple of other friends are still battling their way through this novel, much the same as I am and I don't want to spoil it for them in the case that I'm ahead. The novel of course being Eat, Pray, Love. This entire chapter was just incredible to me and something I've always wanted to put into practice ( Read more... )

Interesting passage ... I didn't read the book but I can totally get what she is trying to say. I most definitely agree with some points written there.

I can't believe you read all that, you're awesome :) But yeah, wasn't it just so fascinating how well put together it is? I definitely want to achieve that positive thinking/controlling my thoughts thing the most.

You know I have read the book and I want to reread it soon so I am not going to read the passage you copied. It's just the text right? You didn't add your own thoughts in between?

Reading this, I realize I still need to share my picture and story of meeting Elizabeth Gilbert! I cannot even remember what I wrote about her in my LJ....

=) I understand. And nope none of my thought in between just at the start and then my little blurb at the end :)

Get on with it already!! You're worse than me and how long I took to tell about meeting Lo in NY :p

It does sound very enlightening. I didn't expect it to be that good. Granted, I never really checked out the book before, though I have watched the movie. The movie is lacking the book's depth though it seems.

OMG, yes. The movie lacks so much of the book's depth. It was still a good movie but the book is so much better for the soul. It's just hard for me to get through novels like this quickly, I always feel like I need to take my time to absorb all the wisdom it has to offer ;-)
